Today, there are some forth-four surviving palaces, villas, and churches by the master. These buildings have profoundly moved the imagination of countless generations of academics, artists, and architects for over four hundred years.

  • Pilgrims of Beauty: Art and Inspiration in 19Th-Century Italy, February 3, 2012-July 8, 2012
    Pilgrims of Beauty: Art and Inspiration in 19th-Century Italy, February 3, 2012-July 8, 2012 Throughout the 19th century, the landscape, history, architecture, and art of Italy served as a tremendous source of inspiration for artists. Masters such as Ingres, Turner, Sargent, and Whistler were among those who benefitted from, and contributed to, the spirit of artistic experimentation and collaboration Italy offered. Featuring more than 60 works of art--including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs, and jewelry, all drawn from the Museum's permanent collection--Pilgrims of Beauty is a window into the array of styles and approaches that emerged from Italy in this period. Pilgrims of Beauty is made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional support for the exhibition is provided by Shawmut Design and Construction. CHECKLIST OF THE EXHIBITION William Merritt Chase American, 1849-1916 In Venice, ca. 1877 Oil on panel Bequest of Isaac C. Bates 13.846 William Merritt Chase was one of the earliest painters to work in Venice using the new Impressionist style. In sketches like this, he uses short, loose brushstrokes to study the play of light, color, and reflections around a row of ordinary houses in the quiet Dorsoduro neighborhood, with the dome of the Chiesa dei Gesuati beyond. These same qualities and challenges later lured Renoir, Monet, Sargent, and many others to the city on the lagoons. Chase was evidently proud of this work, despite its modest size. He exhibited it at the Providence Art Club in 1882, where it was purchased by local collector Isaac Bates.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • Syllabus, Art in Venice, 2020
    Columbia University – Summer Program in Venice Summer 2020 Art in Venice – AHIS O4430 Venice's unique geographical location in the reflective waters of the Adriatic and at the crossroads between East and West has had a profound impact on all aspects of Venetian life and culture. This course will investigate the artistic production of the Lagoon City between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. The compelling works of Venetian artists, such as Carpaccio, Bellini, Giorgione and Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, as well as the great civic and religious monuments, including the Palazzo Ducale, the great mendicant churches, and the Basilica di San Marco, will be considered in light of the sophisticated political and social systems of the Venetian Republic. Issues such as the development of the distinctive urban fabric, the invention of a civic iconography, the role of the artist, and the Venetian workshop practices, as well as the impact of the Islamic world, and private and corporate patronage, will be examined. INSTRUCTOR Caroline A. Wamsler COURSE DURATION, MEETING TIMES AND MEETING LOCATIONS Between June 9 and July 18, 2019 Tuesdays: 9:00am – ca. 3:30pm Thursdays: 9:00 – 11:00am Location – Each session listed below identifies the meeting location.

It is with pleasure, therefore, that I am able to announce the fulfillment of these desires. The Breviary, translated by Father Aquinas Byrnes, O.P., is now in the process of publication at Rome, while the translation of the Dominican Martyrology has just completed. The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately.

Demonstrating the importance of the partnership between traditional methodologies and digital applications as an approach to art historical research and presentation, this thesis determines that the subject matter and display of the ceiling cycles after 1550 shifted due to the decrees related to imagery. The first chapter provides an overview of the Catholic Church in Venice and its imagery as well as the controversy over religious imagery in the sixteenth century.
